Make sure you stay on top of your best weeks/months. PHOTOS Save your geolocation metadata to your photos (From the available location data you imported from other services, or by selecting it on the map). To use this App, you can enable or disable the tracking when needed, import your GPX or Moves App data, or connect with at least one of the available services (If you do not have Swarm or Strava, you can download them on the AppStore for free). Moves is now discontinued, but if you have a backup of your data, you can import it in Quantified Map. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, issues or feature requests. I plan to add more features soon. Your privacy matters, my goal with Quantified Map is to allow you to track and visualize all your data in one place. I do not collect personal info, every map is generated on your device. The data you load or import from different services (like HealthKit, Moves app, Photos, Strava, Swarm, etc.) is yours and stays secure on your device at all times. At any moment you can delete all the data loaded by QuantifiedMap on your device. With Quantified Tracking, your activity and places you visit will automatically be recorded locally on your device. Foursquare is used to name places on your timeline, some coordinates of visited places can be sent to Foursquare to name those places initially.
